Tears of a skinny rat

ON MESSAGE“It was a terrible Irish performance. Shameful… I’d say there were football people at home crying.”

Will he ever tire of it?
HUNT HIM DOWNStephen Hunt, for one, has had enough:

“Where do they get their kicks from? Do you know what I mean? And especially Dunphy, he should know better by now. He’s a skinny rat, a skinny little rat.”
ANDY WHO?Much to Trap’s chagrin, everyone was talking about Andy Reid afterwards. Only Ronnie Whelan hadn’t fully read the script:

“He’s playing very well at the moment for Middlesbrough.”
FORGETTING SOMEONE?After talking about little else for years, Eamo doesn’t even acknowledge Ronaldo’s existence any more:

“Buffon, the most expensive player in the world.”
MUST BE BIONICSA tussle for possession between Zambrotta and Kilbane had George agog:

“64 years between them – 32 each – and they’re involved in a footrace.”
ARE YOU SURE?From the start, Tony O’Donoghue seemed to have his priorities wrong:

“The scoreline in Georgia is the talk of the place.”

VERSATILE LADThere was more sterling research on RTE’S Sunday Sport.

Con Murphy: “Just had a text in asking why Keith Fahey hasn’t been mentioned in the Irish set-up considering he’s playing week in week out in the Premier League.”

John Anderson: “Yeah we’ve spoken about this before as well. And he’s doing very, very well at Wolves apparently.”

Anderson then went on to suggest that you could put John O’Shea at left back and slot Fahey in at right back.

The way Trap thinks, it’s probably the best chance the creative Birmingham midfielder has.
